Tula Oblast, Administrative region in western Russia.

Tula Oblast extends across 25,700 square kilometers of rolling hills and river valleys within the Central Russian Upland, bordered by Moscow Oblast in the north.

The territory transformed from Stone Age settlements to a critical military defense zone, establishing Russia's first armament factory in 1712 under Peter the Great's direction.

The region maintains the Yasnaya Polyana estate museum, where Russian writer Leo Tolstoy created his masterful works War and Peace and Anna Karenina.

The industrial center produces metallurgical goods, chemicals, and machinery while the agricultural sector focuses on grain cultivation, sugar beets, and dairy products.

The region contains deposits of lignite coal and iron ore, supporting extensive mining operations that fuel the local manufacturing industries.
